Nephritis is defined as a condition of inflammation of the nephrons in the kidneys.
Glomerulonephritis is defined as the condition of inflammation of
the tiny filters in kidneys (glomeruli), which filter blood by
removing excess fluid, electrolytes and waste and pass them through
urination.
Diet to prevent Glomerulonephritis
1. Flaxseed
In the study to evaluate Flaxseed: a potential treatment for lupus nephritis, showed that 30 g flaxseed/day
was well tolerated and conferred benefit in terms of renal function as
well as inflammatory and atherogenic mechanisms important in the
pathogenesis of lupus nephritis(26).
2. Green tea
In the study to investigate whether the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of the green tea
polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) favorably affect the
development of immune-mediated GN, researchers at the Shanghai Tenth
People's Hospital of Tongji University, found that levels of glutathione
peroxidase and peroxisome proliferator-activated
receptor-γ (PPARγ), both reduced in the vehicle-pretreated diseased
mice, were normalized. This renoprotective effect was reversed by
concomitant administration of the PPARγ antagonist GW9662 throughout the
EGCG pretreatment period. Importantly, mortality and renal dysfunction
were significantly attenuated even when the polyphenol treatment was
initiated 1 week after the onset of GN. Thus, EGCG reversed the
progression of immune-mediated GN in mice by targeting redox and
inflammatory pathways(27).
3. Organic Soy
According to the study of Beneficial effects of soy protein consumption for renal function by Anderson JW. at the University of Kentucky, substituting soy
protein for animal protein usually decreases hyperfiltration in
diabetic subjects and may reduce urine albumin excretion. Limited data
are available on effects of soy peptides, isoflavones, and other soy components on renal function on renal function in diabetes(28).
